Turning Straight?

[Guest greatness]

I don't have any desire to hire escorts any more and sometimes just thinking of having sex with guys make me sick (but I get still turned on by hot guys from time to time). I don't have any desire to have sex with girls, however. Have you experienced what I am going through? I used to feel like this when I am sick or tired but it seems to last long even after I got better. Sometimes scent of men makes me nauseated these days. It used to turn me on. I think something is wrong with me? I don't know what to think of this. Help!

Greatness, this sounds like a condition that you should discuss with your MD. You say that the male scent, which used to turn you on, now causes occassional nausea. With not much more info, that really sounds like a metabolic issue, as opposed to an emotional or psych issue. The good news is that if metabolic, your physician can probably give you a diagnosis/solution with some simple blood tests. Good luck.

Not sure about your case maybe sex drive is slowing down. I know some guys including myself lose interest sometimes due to bad relationships. I know a guy that's 33 hasn't been on a date since 02 due to the abuse from the previous bf.

I haven't been on but one date since 05 in my and the previous case any intimate contact reminds us of the negative relationships.. I think maybe in your case being sick lately not feeling well might have made you not interested.

Greatness! Hopefully these feelings will Pass! Especially the Sickness Part!

 

Bottom Line.. you will be "Saving a Bundle" which you can spend on things alot more lasting!

Thanks

 

So I guess it's just me... I need to check my brain out. At least I am not hallucinating.

Greatness, you should definitely discuss this with your doctor. It could be a residual effect from your recent illness. I do recall you having lascivious thoughts about the nurses and aides, so hopefully this will pass quickly! Good luck.

Greatness, since you were recently ill, you should check with your doctor whether this could be a side effect of medications you are taking or have taken.

It might also be a sign of depression or maybe even hypothyroidism or low testosterone--talking about the disinclination for sex part.

Thanks!

 

I'll talk to my doctor about it. I still do find guys hot but have no desire to sex with them. Something is definitely wrong. I wish I could go back to my early 20s. Time flies so fast~~

Talk to your doctor. That's always good advice when you have a problem, especially if you're on medication. But if he or she doesn't find something or have something to offer, you might consider giving it some time.

 

I don't know how old you are. But sexual urges wax and wane as we age. It's entirely normal to have periods of lesser and greater interest in sex. But dwelling on it is likely to make it worse because of that curious link between the mind and our sexual nature. If there's no medical cause, just relax. Enjoy your life in other ways and you'll likely find that your sexual urges come back in due course.

greatness to straightness, we certainly hope not!

Folks here have given good advice, hope you remain a Hoovillite.

The WORD on Low Testosterone Levels

 

As someone with the affiliction, let me give you the professional medical question to answer: "Do you have a morning erection?"

 

It's that simple. No matter how old you are during sleep your penis plumps throughout the night as a normal process of flushing out the tissue. If you don't wake up regularly with morning wood, you need to get checked.

 

Now, it's a relative measurement - we all remember being boned up constantly in our late teens and early twenties. After age 50, you should still be waking up with the kickstand down at least a couple of times a week.

, hope you remain a Hoovillite.

 

I can't see you in Hooterville.

 

Yeah you gotta stay with us Greatness. Get the check up just in case

Morning wood == Sufficient Testosterone? I'm not so sure ...

 

I broached the subject of having a testosterone test with my health plan a physician

(a woman), who is normally extremely professional, a little distant an exceedingly polite.

 

She asked me if I was able to achieve an erections, rhetorically, because without waiting for the answer she said - "If you can get it up, your testosterone level is fine".

 

I bit might lip and stifled the retort I was thinking of about Chinese Emperors and Sultans of the middle east employing Eunuchs to satisfy their wives (historically), and those guys presumably had *no* testosterone. Maybe history lies?

 

I know another physician from the same health plan socially, and inquired of his opinion.

He suggested changing doctors.

Whether this was her considered opinion or not, she needed to address the question more seriously. Sexual functioning is dependent to some extent on testosterone, but one can have what is considered "normal levels" but if you don't have a previous reference, you can not be sure. Many labs report values somewhere between 200-300 on the low end and 800-900 on the high end. If you have a single value of 500 that gives you a picture in time. If you had suddenly dropped from 850 you might feel sluggish, undersexed and weaken and have some changes in mood. If you had always been 500, well testosterone is not likely the cause of your problem. If unbeknownst to your doctor you took a testosterone supplement, you testosterone might have raised from 200 to 500 causing other problems. So a baseline testosterone level and then a follow up if symptoms warrant is a reasonable aand not overly expensive test. In addition, testosterone levels kept in the midrange lead to decrease in muscle loss of aging and a more satisfying life in your 60s and beyond.

I would somewhat agree with this. It sounds like you could be having a medical condition of some sort. Have you been overly stressed out lately? That could certainly affect sex drive. Anyway, best to you and hope you will figure it all out soon.

Morning Wood = Testosterone Level

 

Seriously change doctors. My Endocrinologist who is a full Professor @ UCLA (#4 in the nation) says Morning erections are the best indicators of sufficient testerone levels. If you aren't having morning wood regularly, get the blood test!

Possibly she's technically correct-but it seems to me she missed some nuances--like how long does it take to get one, are you not as aroused when you see a hunky guy go by as you used to be, maybe how strong the erection is--and etc. While not impossible for a woman, probably easier to talk about the nitty gritty with a male physician. Same way it might be easier for a female physician to empathize about problems breastfeeding or need for a mastectomy--again males can do it--just might be easier sometimes for women to speak with women about these things.
